We Don't Have To Say Goodbye Poem by Jim Yerman
We Don't Have To Say Goodbye
Death came earlier than expected...
we begged...
we pleaded...
we prayed
But death ignored all our requests...
for that often is death's way.
And just as often we were not ready
we could not justify...
we were confused...
we were sad...
we were angry
and it hurt to say goodbye.
But once we finished grieving
happiness revived
For although we lost a person we love
Our memories survived.
Which means as long as we remember...
that person remains near-by...
and every time we think of them...
we don't have to say goodbye.
I am so touched by your poem, and feel comforted. I lost three friends this year and I really miss them You are right, as long as we have memories we don't have to say goodbye.
Life and death are part of life.We have to accept death as the hard truth.Yes, a person lives through the memories of near and dear ones.A nice piece of writing.Congratulations for Poem of the Day.
